Lucena Position
Position: 4K3/4P3/2k5/8/8/8/r7/6R1
The textbook rook-ending win. Your king is boxed in front of the pawn; build a bridge with the rook on the fourth rank to shelter the king and promote.
Why this position matters

PawnPilot lets you play this exact position against tablebase-perfect defence: every slip is caught, explained, and re-scheduled for review until the technique is automatic.
